Part 2/6:
The speech begins with a humorous yet pointed critique of the United Nations' physical and technological shortcomings. The speaker recounts an encounter involving an escalator that stopped unexpectedly, risking the safety of the First Lady, who fortunately was in good shape and able to maintain her balance. Additionally, technical issues with a teleprompter compounded the difficulties, though it was later rectified. These anecdotes serve as metaphors for broader frustrations: despite the apparent grandeur and potential of global institutions, they often falter in practical situations.
